ABOUT THIS ALBUM

Album Notes

"... [The Modern Electric] nail the joys and woes of wintertime around these parts in four glorious sleigh-bell-speckled minutes. We'd so much rather listen to this than to She & Him's joyless new holiday collection." - Scene Magazine

Shopping at a thrift store in Decemberthis’ll be a Christmas to remember.Dirty decorations never faildirty decorations always on sale.

Lake effect snow up to our shouldersI’m moving down to Florida when I get older.Digging out our cars with the vents all blowingit’ll be hours ‘fore the heat gets going.

Raise your beer, it’s a Christmas on the northcoast.Raise your voice, it’s a carol that you know.

Recycling your gifts at the office partyquoting all the lines from “A Christmas Story.”Wrapping up presents with the morning paper.Why spend the money when it’s garbage later?

Daddy’s saying prayers: Let the Browns do okay,while his kids are praying for another snow day.Your neighbors have the brightest lights in the whole town.It’ll be months ‘fore they take those lights down.

Raise your beer, it’s a Christmas on the northcoast.Raise your voice, it’s a carol that you know.
